I've been private messaging her a bit since we all left and I went back to my flat.
She's been rocked a bit by your revelation, but don't let that spook you. She's raised seven kids which means she's used to shocks by now. She'll come around.
You might think, but you know your mum's quite traditional about some things.
Marriage and kids, for example.
I wish Remus'd figured things out before he up and married Dora but then we wouldn't have Bea, either. And that would have been a great misfortune.
Still, I know it puts Dora in a bad position, unless she can find someone who doesn't mind the arrangement, or we can come up with a good reason for the Ponds to split amicably. But that day's a ways off, so, meanwhile ... we're finding a way to make things work.
Dunno why I thought I had to tell you that. Maybe you're standing in for your mum.
So...Dora is on board with the arrangement? That is a relief then. I mean--well, bloody hell, I don't know what I mean. Except that I like all three of you. Well, all four of you, if you include Bea. And I hope that you keep the hurt for everybody to a bare minimum.
Dora is the one who put it all together, Bill. Without her we'd still be - I dunno, I'd still be living with the belief that Remus only liked women and he'd still be trying his best to make her happy and failing miserably at it. And poor Dora would still be trying to figure out why they were both so ill-at-ease.
It's not been easy. But yes, we're trying to keep things as equal as possible.
I mean to say, Bill. I'm capable of some berkish things but I'd never have come between them. Not like that.
